It should be re-named anti-social media, as 60% of us hate when pals check their Facebook in the pub.

Selfies and check-ins have become commonplace during nights out but many of us want to get back to basics and ditch Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat while we’re having a pint.

While six out of 10 of us see using social media sites when out as a faux-pas, we can’t fully go cold-turkey from the web and the same amount think wi-fi is a must for any good boozer.

The findings were contained in a Behaviour and Attitudes Survey on behalf of the Licensed Vintners’ Association.

More than 500 Dublin adults were questioned on what they think about our pub habits.

Another bone of contention for a lot of the respondents is televisions in pubs, as they vie for the attention of those they’re out with.

The survey said 40% of us believe TVs in pubs should only be used for showing sports, while a further 20% think it should never be switched on.

The majority of us are still feeling the pinch money-wise, but are happy to loosen the purse strings on a night out, with the average spend at €81.

Half of this is spent on alcohol, the rest goes on babysitters, nightclub entry, taxis and the all-important bag of chips at the end of the night.

A few drinks are also vital for keeping the spark alive – 60% of us think that going out for a drink with our other half improves the relationship.

And 41% of hopeful men believe a trip to the boozer sets the mood for later. This might not ring true though as just three out of 10 women agree.

LVA chief Donall O’Keeffe said this was not the only contrast in attitudes between the sexes. They also approach work drinks very differently.

He added: “Guys see a lot more to those nights out than girls and particularly value it as a place to learn office gossip, discuss career opportunities in casual surroundings, brainstorm new ideas and even get free drink from the boss.”
